As a parent of two children bussed to school everyday, I an horrified at the thought of a fire on their bus.Have we learned nothing from the crimes comitted against children all over this country over the past 10 years? why wasn't this reported to the police?Were the parents of these children notified of this?

I'm a 5th grade parent in Mr. Atlas' class. My children aren't bused but my husband and I are very upset. Anything can happen on the play ground.

As a 5th grade parent my family and I are left with many questions.

Where was the note informing my husband and I what had happened on Friday? What class is the child in? Is the child being given the proper help?

Since the child who allegedly attempted to burn a bus was named as a 5th grader, and the child was allowed to continue either his/her day, how were all the other 5th graders protected from any other problems that could have been caused during the day by this child.

According to the article, this is the second alleged arson attempt. The first was during school, a lighter was confiscated from the child. Now, the child has attempted to set a bus on fire.

where was mr. Briceno?
why was a police report not filed?
again, where was the note informing all the parents, if not just the 5th grade parents as to the potential danger that exists in our school?
where are our school officials; the BoE, Mr. Organisciak, Dr. Korostoff, city hall on this matter?

what is going on at Trinity and why wheren't the parents and police informed?

My wife and I EXPECTED! to get a note home today about what happened on the bus on Friday. Setting Fire to a Bus?! AND, THAT'S IT!?!! Why is it that NO ONE CARES about Trinity?! Why hasn't this been picked up by Channel 2 News?! What's wrong with this school?! WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE!!!!!

I am FED up with the LIES and Covering things up! I work at Trinity and this story is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH. The Administration is too BUSY putting their own personal career before the safety and well-being of the children!

Well, I'm sorry, I will not be silent any longer. A child DID attempt to set the T2 bus on FIRE last Friday and this is not the first attempt of arson.

The child previously was punished for having a lighter in school.

I'm furious! Not only is this a threat to our bus children, but when the lighter was confiscated from the child, the entire school was at risk.

I CANNOT be a part of the LIES! Children's lives are at stake. Parents, DO NOT be FOOLED. All they care about is protecting themselves and their jobs. WAKE UP!

There are 2 very reliable sources to this story. This did happen on the bus, going to Trinity on friday morning. The administration is trying to backpeddle because they got caught not following proper procedure on a possible felony. If this principal doesnt realize that the police should have been brought in on this matter, what else is he neglecting to do to protect our children?

Today the Trinity T2 bus was in an accident. Thankfully, no one was injured. Mr. Briceno upon learning of the accident, immediately dropped everything and rushed over to the site to check on our children's well-being. Well done Mr. Briceno. That is the response we as a community want to see and admire.

However, one right does not negate a sea of wrong. I work at Trinity. The attempt by the child to set fire to the T2 bus DID HAPPEN. The article is TRUE. There is an attempt to cover-up the incident because the police should have been contacted. Not following procedures in an incident of this nature is a serious offense. Procedures are in place to protect our children. We cannot pick and choose which rules to follow, all must be followed.

We cannot allow this cover-up to go on. Cover-ups do and have happened in history. They have also been exposed. Just ask Richard Nixon about the Watergate scandal. Our children deserve the security of safety. It is our time as strong adults to be truthful. This incident DID HAPPEN.

The ONLY WAY to have the Board of Education care for South District Schools is to get South End New Rochelle Representation. The entire board consists only of North End Representatives that conduct Business as Usual, only caring about Davis, Ward & ALMS. They do not care about students & teachers within Jefferson, Columbus, IEYMS, and even Webster. South End New Rochelle Representation is desperately needed!!!! Should there be any South End people who want to make positive change and can contend and defeat any seated board moron, sorry, member, please register to run. New Rochelle's South End desperately need representation. Our schools are failing, and with each and every year passing, the board of ed and the entire administration simply sits, lays off needed educators, drains our budgets, raises our taxes and gives themselves hefty raises and unlimited expense budgets that are used unchecked and unaudited for personal use as well.

My suggestion to the PTA is to have a evening meeting. The neighborhoods should be getting involved and support the parents who have children attending Trinity. These incidents are very important and should not be ignored. After all, the children's safety should be our first priority. We cannot accept anything less.
